STELARC is an Australian-based performance artist whose work explores and extends the concept of the body and its relationship with technology through human/machine interfaces incorporating the Internet and Web, sound, music, video and computers. Over the past few years, he has performed a number of works interactively with the Internet. While his body is under the control of the flux of information streaming through the Internet, live images of his movements are uploaded. Ping Body is one example, in which he maps spatial distance and transmission time to body motion by randomly pinging Internet domains and then applying small electrical shocks to particular muscle areas so that his limbs move proportionally to the the response time (see video stills). Here are the schematics for the configuration, as well as a Shockwave simulation of the performance in 3D.
